Can any of you suggest a good web site to order replacement front & rear
leather seats (material) and door panels?
Thanks for any help!

Some owners have had good success restoring old cracked and stained
leather seats using Leatherique. Takes a few days to soften the old
leather, redye it to original color and finish its top surface.

Door lock question. Vacuum powered door locks open and close ALL doors,
trunk and fuel door. One could, I suppose, cripple the vacuum system at
the driver's door lock so the other doors no longer locked or unlocked
in tandem with the driver's door.

Back windows do have a lock out (center) button on the driver's window
button console.

Good luck with your "new" car.

Further thought about the door locks.

See if the back doors can be opened from the inside when the driver's
door is locked. If not, then drive with the doors locked.

Otherwise, I suggested disconnecting the door locks. Rather than messing
about inside the driver's door I'd suggest you disconnect the whole
locking vacuum system connection under the hood so you can restore it
more easily if its non-operation proves to be inconvenient.

Shhh, there is nothing under the hood for the door locks......
Electric pump in the trunk.

I was wondering about that...
